On top of that the tall ceiling height on the 1st floor presented a great open floor plan concept.

That's a tall order for most beginners - especially when you mention basic things like replacing income, full time job, finding some cash flow.Then there is interest rates.  

However, we expect selling activity to normalize as rates inch their way down over the next year.

I try flushing the toilet to try to get the chain to hook on the inflow, but the chain is only bouncing up.. it would need to go 3 inches over to the side and up to be hooked.

Seems that I need to buy the 14 inch rough in toilets (which is hard, because only few models are available at Home Depot and Lowes, since this is a non-standard size).

Need 3/4 inch thick plywood.

No reason to hydro jet if they are replacing , backfill and bed the pipe is not a line iten , its putting sand around the pipe 6 inches and filling in the trench . 8 ft isnt that deep , still need a trehch box , but nothing out of the ordinary .  

They only need about 24 inches of depth to fit.

Hey Joseph, this is a tall order.The folks that have these contacts (like myself) guard them pretty heavily and also keep their contractors busy.It's not a selfish thing, it's just business.

Things I've got down to minimal effort or fully automated: * Rent, security deposit, and fee collection* Basic accounting and tax packet creation* Listing vacancies* Lease signing* Applications, credit, and background checksThings I'm still dealing with directly ad-hoc or don't have a well defined process or solution in place for:* Requests and communication with tenants* Finding and coordinating service providers for maintenance and repair work* Scheduling showings and getting prospective tenants to make their appointments* Tenant turnover for move in and out* Keeping up with legal changes and lease template updates* Setting rent amounts* Lease enforcement - tenants are responsible for things like yardwork, routinely get letters from the city about weeds / tall grass, etc.Questions for the group:* What am I missing if I were to make out a checklist of an "automated property"?
